Well. sir, she has done more good now
In this wicked little town
Than the teachers, and the preachers,
And all others. I'll be bound
Why. air, she's a very angel:
Least we think 80 in these parts.
What's her business? Let me see. now
Healing crushed and broken hearts.

Strange, man should be 30 foolish
As To help dig his own gravel

There, il slipped nv memory quite.
A strange story but trust, sir.
God knows always what is right
She was just the sweetest lassie

And large laughing eyes OF brown.

Came the glorious autumn days.
Golden rod and scarlet maple,
Hills all yelled in purple haze.
Just the night before the wedding
Allen met dear old friend
Would he not for "auld lang 5yne' sake
But you know where those things tend.
How il happened no one knew, sir,
But they found young Allen dead:
Flesh all torn and badly mangled,
And a deep cash III his head.
When they told her the sad news. sir,
oh. it was fearful sight,
Befo re morning golden ringlots
All were changed t. snowy white.
For time they feared her reason
Would be shaken from it's throne,
But at last peace, pure and holy,
Made her trusting heart its own.
Tneu she went out in the world, sir,
Breathing hope and Joy. and love-
Till the listening angels beckon,
Watching from their home above.

REMAINS OF THE FREIGHT ENGINE.
the engineer liable TO prosecution for criminal
negligence, together they ought to be consid-
cred unit for service where human life de-
ponds upon carefulness OF employees. From
extended talk with the Coroner it was apparent
that this view was substantially the one he had
taken from his Investigations.
While the blame OF the wreck primarily at
taches itself to the freight engineer, the ignor-
ance OF the pass enger conductor regarding the
movement OF trains is surprising. He was two
hours late. According to the printed schedule
Of trains. which he carried in his pocket, the
meat train, No. As, should have passed him
an hour before. Without knowing thing
about the location of that train. he testi-
fed that he had no idea that any train was be-
hind him. Whether he supposed the meat
train had dropped into the earth or had passed
on the barb-wire fence along the roadway is
not plain. His innocence regarding the move
ment OF trains on his road Is truly marvellous.

at certain station II is true he did not find
the train there but it is also true he had
csiyed no information TO its locality. He
only knew the passenger was ahead OF him
somewhere on the line with disabled engine.
Notwithstanding this knowledge he rushed
ahead in "A dense fog. according TO the testi-
mony, at twenty five miles an hour, or even q
greater rate. He ran on TO a grade which made
a stop within a half mile out OF the question,
ut this rate of speed. He acknowledged he was
uneasy. and under n spasm Of temporary fear
mt the thought that the passenger might be be-
fore him, he whistled for brakes Then the
thought OF recovering lost time overcame his
caution, and he whistled "Of brakesl" When
directly under the semaphore he saw the dan
ger signal. and again called for brakes and did
all in his power to stop the train. This is his
own story, but why he should not have seen
the red light of the seInaphore before that time
is not clear. 1t was apparent to the trainmen
